I am not a fan of being asked to come in to the office prior to the start date to complete the new hire paperwork, unpaid especially when the I-9 regulation gives the new hires to satisfy this requirement 3 days after the start date. It's unnecessary and inconvenient. It doesn't make sense to be acknowledging the handbook, filling out payroll forms and benefit enrollment forms when you have not even officially started with the company.
As big of a company as John L. Scott, they do not provide an employee self service link for their employees to change their personal information, W-4, view pay stubs, internal job postings, etc. Again, very inconvenient for the employees since they have to go through HR for everything. I personally have never been with a company that chooses not to provide this service.
The position was not challenging enough with the experience and the level they were looking for in this department since all I did was administrative type of work. Luckily, I kept myself busy with personal projects to help with the implementations but there were so many days where I didn't get a single email or a call. It was hard to be motivated or looking forward to coming into work everyday when I felt I wasn't needed.
It was a stressful working environment due to receiving tasks very last minute, and not getting the full information I needed to get the job done.
Two of my pre-planned vacations were denied and had to be rescheduled.
